The Thousand-Year Door description The diary the ghost kept. You shouldn't read it.
“You were very wise not to read my diary, friend...”
Ghost T., Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The Ragged Diary is an item in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is a diary that belongs to Ghost T. While alive, Ghost T. was a passenger on the Excess Express. Ghost T. later died in his cabin and is tied to it by his fear of someone ever reading his diary, which was still in the baggage car of the Excess Express.

When Mario and his partners come to Ghost T.'s room (Cabin 004), he is not visible. Mario has to hide with Vivian for a couple of seconds to make him appear. When he does, he asks Mario to find his diary, but he warns Mario not to read it. When Mario finds the Ragged Diary in the baggage car, he must return it to Ghost T., who then gives Mario a blanket to be given to the train conductor. Alternately, Mario has an option to read the diary or not, although the game will warn him three times. If he chooses to read it, he reads only the following:

Month X Day X Cloudy

I got on a train today,

And on that train...

Before Mario can read any further, Ghost T. appears and yells at Mario for not listening to him, followed by the screen warbling and rotating multiple times before resulting in an instant Game Over. In the Nintendo Switch version, when Mario reads the diary, the screen turns monochrome and the effects turn static, and after he reads the diary, an iris out appears instead of the screen warbling and rotating. Also in the Nintendo Switch version, Mario must place the diary in the cabin's drawer after bringing it to Ghost T. The drawer cannot be opened afterwards.
